Common name: Red Algae Family

Scientific name: Schizymeniaceae

Schizymeniaceae is a family of red algae within the order Nemaliales. Members of this family are known for their brightly colored, often iridescent thalli that can add a splash of color to reef aquariums. They are typically found in marine environments and can be beneficial for tanks as they contribute to nutrient cycling and provide habitats for small invertebrates. Care should be taken to provide them with moderate lighting and water flow to mimic their natural conditions.
